CoolSculpting Was the Right Decision for Me - Duluth, GA

CoolSculpting has been the most positive thing I have done for myself in many years. It has provided me with the body I have worked to so hard and so long to try to obtain. I am a post menopausal medium built woman who has continually watched my body form expand in my midriff and back flanks. I have lived a healthy lifestyle for most of my adult life. But after menopause, I watched my size 4 body increase to size 6 then size 8 no matter how much I exercised and dieted. It has been completely defeating!
I saw my first CoolSculpting poster at the North Atlanta Dermatology office. I asked my Dermatologist about it. She herself had been treated and felt I would be a good candidate for it. I pondered on this for another six months, reading online reviews and investigating the procedure.
Then I attended an open house at one of the NAD offices. Cherylyn Woody gave a thorough presentation, provided valuable information and evidence that this procedure produces great results. From that point, I took the next step of a free consultation with Cherylyn. I choose her because she is an Advanced Certified CoolSculptor, her vast experience with the procedure and her knowledge of body anatomy. We had an in-depth discussion on the process in its entirety, from the prep through the 12 week post procedure. Her abilities and knowledge gave me confidence that I needed to move forward with CoolSculpting.
I had five areas treated, upper and lower abdominals and back flanks. The procedure took less than 3 hours. There was little to no pain involved. It was more what I would say was discomfort. I drove home. I did experience swelling and numbness for a short time. My best advice would be to apply ice as Cherylyn instructed me to do. And keep doing so until you feel the swelling has subsided. I was able to return to my excise program immediately. I didn’t miss a beat. And lastly, knowing what I had to look forward to in the New Year was one of the best incentives for me maintaining my diet through the holiday season.
Both my husband and I saw results within 4 weeks! And by 8 weeks, I saw a major reduction in my back flanks! And my belly was gradually melting away, which for me was great because to others, it just appeared I was losing weight. At this point, I had my first follow up with Cherylyn. She told me just wait – the best was yet to come. She was right again. I am now at the 12 week point and I so very happy and satisfied with my results. Cherylyn took new photos of me. We sat together a viewed the before and after. I must say it was very emotional moment.
I have made the decision to do one more treatment on the belly and upper back flanks. There was no pressure or encouragement from Cherylyn to do another round. I sought this out again for myself.
I will end this by saying I saw a commercial for CoolSculpting a few days ago and I just had to smile because I am that person who notices their new and improved reflection. I can say with complete confidence that CoolSculpting was the right decision for me.
